Properties of Transition Metals

Los metales de transición son un grupo de elementos ubicados en el bloque d. Se colocan entre los elementos del grupo principal y exhiben características únicas, como conductividad eléctrica, colores, dureza, altos puntos de fusión y magnetismo. Muchas de estas características se atribuyen al llenado de los orbitales d.Moviéndose a lo largo del período, los electrones se agregan siguiendo el principio de Aufbau. Sin embargo, el orbital s más externo se llena primero, antes de que el electrón entre en la subcapa d, con algunas excepciones. El cromo y el cobre tienen un orbital s medio lleno porque es energéticamente más favorecedor tener un subnivel d medio lleno o completo.El tamaño atómico de los metales de transición disminuye ligeramente a lo largo de un período. A medida que los electrones entran en la subcapa d, el número de electrones de valencia en el orbital s más externo permanece estable, lo que conduce a una carga nuclear constante general. Abajo de la columna, la tendencia aumenta del cuarto al quinto período, pero no por debajo.El sexto período contiene 14 elementos adicionales de la serie de lantánidos, donde los electrones entran en la subcapa f antes de entrar en la subcapa d. Los electrones ubicados en los orbitales f no protegen suficientemente a los electrones de valencia en el orbital s más externo, lo que resulta en un aumento de la carga nuclear efectiva. Por lo tanto, los electrones de valencia se atraen con más fuerza, lo que lleva a radios atómicos más pequeños de lo esperado.Esto se conoce como contracción de lantánidos. De manera similar, la electronegatividad de los elementos de transición está influenciada por su tamaño atómico y carga nuclear. Moviéndose a lo largo de un período, aumenta solo ligeramente.Abajo de la columna, la electronegatividad aumenta del cuarto al quinto período, pero permanece constante en el sexto período. Esto se atribuye a una disminución del tamaño atómico y a un aumento de la carga nuclear. La energía de ionización de los metales de transición aumenta ligeramente a lo largo de un período.Curiosamente, hacia abajo en la columna, es más alta para el sexto período que para el cuarto y quinto períodos. Aquí, los electrones de valencia se mantienen más comprimidos a medida que aumenta la carga nuclear con un aumento insignificante en el tamaño atómico. Por último, los metales de transición pueden tener un rango de estados de oxidación estable al perder los electrones orbitales s más externos antes que los electrones orbitales d desapareados.Los orbitales d parcialmente llenos permiten estados de oxidación que van del 7 al 1, con colores característicos y propiedades magnéticas.

propiedades de los metales de transición

Los metales de transición se definen como aquellos elementos que tienen orbitales d parcialmente llenos. Como se muestra en la Figura 1, los elementos del bloque d en los grupos 3–12 son elementos de transición. Los elementos del bloque f, también llamados metales de transición interna (lantánidos y actínidos), también cumplen este criterio porque el orbital d es parcialmente llenado antes de los orbitales f.
 <img alt="Image1" src="/files/ftp_upload/11454/11454_Image_1.png" style="text-align: center; height: 500px;" />
 Figura 1: Tabla periódica.Los metales de transición se encuentran en los grupos 3–11 de la tabla periódica. Los metales de transición interna están en las dos filas debajo del cuerpo de la tabla.
 Los elementos del bloque d se dividen en la primera serie de transición (los elementos desde Sc hasta Cu), la segunda serie de transición (los elementos desde Y hasta Ag) y la tercera serie de transición (el elemento La y los elementos desde Hf hasta Au). El actinio, Ac, es el primer miembro de la cuarta serie de transición, que también incluye desde Rf hasta Rg.
 Los elementos del bloque f son los elementos desde Ce hasta Lu, que constituyen la serie lantánida (o serie lantanoide), y los elementos desde Th hasta Lr, constituyen la serie actínida (o serie actinoide). Debido a que el lantano se comporta muy parecido a los elementos lantánidos, se considera un elemento lantánido, aunque su configuración electrónica lo convierte en el primer miembro de la tercera serie de transición. Del mismo modo, el comportamiento del actinio sugiere que forma parte de la serie actínida, aunque su configuración electrónica lo convierte en el primer miembro de la cuarta serie de transición.
 Los elementos de transición tienen muchas propiedades en común con otros metales. Son casi todos sólidos duros de alta fusión que conducen bien el calor y la electricidad. Ellos fácilmente forman aleaciones y pierden electrones para formar cationes estables. Además, los metales de transición forman una amplia variedad de compuestos de coordinación estables, en los que el átomo o ion de metal central actúa como un ácido de Lewis y acepta uno o más pares de electrones. Muchas moléculas e iones diferentes pueden donar pares solitarios al centro de metal, sirviendo como bases de Lewis.
 Propiedades de los elementos de transición
 Los metales de transición demuestran una amplia gama de comportamientos químicos. Algunos metales de transición son agentes reductores fuertes, mientras que otros tienen una reactividad muy baja. Por ejemplo, todos los lantánidos forman cationes acuosos estables de 3+. La fuerza impulsora de tales oxidaciones es similar a la de los metales alcalinotérreos como Be o Mg, formando Be2+ y Mg2+. Por otro lado, materiales como el platino y el oro tienen un potencial de reducción mucho mayor. Su capacidad de resistir la oxidación los hace materiales útiles para construir circuitos y joyas.
 Los iones de los elementos del bloque d más ligeros, como Cr3+, Fe3+ y CO2+, forman iones hidratados coloridos que son estables en el agua. Sin embargo, los iones en el período justo debajo de éstos (Mo3+, Ru3+ y Ir2+) son inestables y reaccionan fácilmente con el oxígeno del aire. La mayoría de los iones simples y estables al agua formados por los elementos más pesados del bloque d son oxianiones como MoO42− y ReO4−.
 Rutenio, osmio, rodio, iridio, paladio, y el platino son los metales del grupo del platino. Con dificultad, forman cationes simples que son estables en el agua, y, a diferencia de los elementos anteriores en la segunda y tercera serie de transición, no forman oxianiones estables.
 Tanto los elementos del bloque d como f reaccionan con los no metales para formar compuestos binarios; a menudo requiriendo calentamiento. Estos elementos reaccionan con halógenos para formar una variedad de haluros que varían en estado de oxidación de +1 a +6. Al calentarse, el oxígeno reacciona con todos los elementos de transición excepto paladio, platino, plata y oro. Los óxidos de estos últimos metales pueden formarse utilizando otros reactivos, pero se descomponen al calentarse. Los elementos del bloque f, los elementos del grupo 3 y los elementos de la primera serie de transición, excepto el cobre, reaccionan con soluciones acuosas de ácidos, formando gas hidrógeno y soluciones de las sales correspondientes.
 Los metales de transición pueden formar compuestos con una amplia gama de estados de oxidación. Algunos de los estados de oxidación observados de los elementos de la primera serie de transición se muestran en la Tabla 1. Al moverse de izquierda a derecha a través de la primera serie de transición, el número de estados de oxidación comunes aumenta al principio hasta un máximo hacia el centro de la tabla y, a continuación, disminuye. Los valores de la tabla son valores típicos; hay otros valores conocidos y es posible sintetizar nuevas adiciones. Por ejemplo, en 2014, los investigadores tuvieron éxito en sintetizar un nuevo estado de oxidación del iridio (+9).

 Tabla 1. Los metales de transición de la primera serie de transición pueden formar compuestos con diferentes estados de oxidación.
 Para los elementos desde el escandio hasta el manganeso (la primera mitad de la primera serie de transición), el estado de oxidación más alto corresponde a la pérdida de todos los electrones en los orbitales s y d de sus capas de valencia. El ion de titanio (IV), por ejemplo, se forma cuando el átomo de titanio pierde sus dos pierde sus electrones 3d y 4s. Estos estados de oxidación más altos son las formas más estables de escandio, titanio y vanadio. Sin embargo, no es posible continuar con la eliminación de todos los electrones de valencia de los metales a medida que continuamos a través de la serie. Se sabe que el hierro forma estados de oxidación de +2 a +6, siendo el hierro (II) y el hierro (III) los más comunes. La mayoría de los elementos de la primera serie de transición forman iones con una carga de 2+ o 3+ que son estables en agua, aunque los de los primeros miembros de la serie pueden ser fácilmente oxidados por el aire.
 Los elementos de la segunda y tercera serie de transición son generalmente más estables en estados de oxidación más altos que los elementos de la primera serie. En general, el radio atómico se incrementa hacia abajo en un grupo, lo que lleva a que los iones de la segunda y tercera serie sean más grandes que los de la primera serie. La eliminación de electrones de los orbitales ubicados más lejos del núcleo es más fácil que la eliminación de electrones cerca del núcleo. Por ejemplo, el molibdeno y el volframio, miembros del grupo 6, están limitados principalmente a un estado de oxidación de +6 en solución acuosa. El cromo, el miembro más ligero del grupo, forma iones estables Cr3+ en el agua y, en ausencia de aire, iones menos estables Cr2+. El sulfuro con el estado de oxidación más alto para el cromo es Cr2S3, que contiene el ion Cr3+. El molibdeno y el tungsteno forman sulfuros en los que los metales presentan estados de oxidación de +4 y +6.
 La variedad de propiedades exhibidas por los metales de transición se debe a sus complejas capas de valencia. A diferencia de la mayoría de los metales del grupo principal, donde normalmente se observa un estado de oxidación, la estructura de la capa de valencia de los metales de transición implica que normalmente ocurren en varios estados de oxidación estable diferentes. Además, las transiciones de electrones en estos elementos pueden corresponder con la absorción de fotones en el espectro electromagnético visible, lo que conduce a compuestos coloreados. Debido a estos comportamientos, los metales de transición exhiben una química rica y fascinante.

transition metals in the periodic table

Transition metals are the d-block elements and the inner transition metals in the f-block. They are defined by partially filled d orbitals. In the periodic table, the transition elements are in groups 3 through 11, and the inner transition metals appear in the two rows below the main body of the table.

The d-block is often grouped into transition series. The first transition series runs from Sc through Cu. The second series runs from Y through Ag. The third series includes La and Hf through Au, and the fourth series begins with Ac and continues through Rg. The f-block includes Ce through Lu, which make up the lanthanide series, and Th through Lr, which make up the actinide series. Lanthanum and actinium behave like the lanthanides and actinides, so they are included with those series even though their electron configurations place them at the start of the third and fourth transition series.

Transition metals share several common metal properties. Most are hard, high-melting solids that conduct heat and electricity well. They also form alloys easily and lose electrons to make stable cations. Another major feature is their ability to form stable coordination compounds, where the metal atom or ion acts as a Lewis acid and accepts electron pairs from Lewis bases such as molecules or ions with lone pairs.

These elements show a wide range of chemical behavior. Some transition metals are strong reducing agents, while others are much less reactive. The lanthanides, for example, form stable 3+ aqueous cations, and this oxidation is similar in driving force to the formation of Be2+ and Mg2+ by alkaline earth metals. At the other extreme, platinum and gold have high reduction potentials, so they resist oxidation and are useful in circuits and jewelry.

Ion stability also changes across the d-block. Lighter ions such as Cr3+, Fe3+, and Co2+ often form colorful hydrated ions that remain stable in water. The next heavier ions, such as Mo3+, Ru3+, and Ir2+, are unstable and react quickly with oxygen in air. For the heavier d-block elements, many of the water-stable simple ions are oxyanions, such as MoO4 2− and ReO4−. Ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, palladium, and platinum are called the platinum metals. They form simple cations only with difficulty, and they do not form stable oxyanions like the earlier elements in the second and third transition series.

Transition metals and inner transition metals also react with nonmetals to form binary compounds, and heating is often needed. They react with halogens to make halides in oxidation states from +1 to +6. When heated, oxygen reacts with all transition elements except palladium, platinum, silver, and gold. The oxides of those metals can be made by other reactions, but they break down when heated. The f-block elements, group 3 elements, and the first transition series except copper react with aqueous acids to form hydrogen gas and the matching salts.

A key reason transition metals are so versatile is that they can form compounds in many oxidation states. In the first transition series, scandium through manganese show a rise in the number of common oxidation states, with a maximum near the middle of the series, and then the number falls again. For scandium through manganese, the highest oxidation state usually comes from removing all valence s and d electrons. Titanium(IV), for example, forms when titanium loses its two 3d and two 4s electrons. Iron can form oxidation states from +2 to +6, but +2 and +3 are the most common. Most first-series transition metals form 2+ or 3+ ions that are stable in water, although the early members are easily oxidized by air.

The second and third transition series are usually more stable in higher oxidation states than the first series. Their larger atomic radius makes electron removal easier because the electrons are farther from the nucleus. For example, molybdenum and tungsten, both group 6 elements, are mostly limited to +6 in aqueous solution. Chromium, the lightest member of the group, forms stable Cr3+ ions in water and less stable Cr2+ ions when air is absent. The highest chromium sulfide is Cr2S3, which contains Cr3+, while molybdenum and tungsten form sulfides with +4 and +6 oxidation states.

The many properties of transition metals come from their complex valence shells. Unlike most main group metals, which usually show one oxidation state, transition metals often appear in several stable oxidation states. Their electron transitions can also absorb visible light, which gives many of their compounds color. These features make transition metal chemistry especially varied and important.

coordination compounds and nomenclature

How Transition Metal Complexes Are Named

Transition metal complexes are named by following rules for ligands, metal ions, and oxidation state. These compounds form when a central metal ion or atom, often a transition metal or inner transition metal, accepts electron pairs from ligands. A ligand is a Lewis base that can be an atom, molecule, or ion with one or more lone pairs to donate. In these complexes, the bond is a coordinate covalent bond. That means both electrons in the bond come from the donor, such as ammonia, and are...

metal-ligand bonds

Coordination Complexes and Chelation

Coordination complexes form when a metal ion bonds to ligands. These compounds appear in familiar examples such as hemoglobin in blood, chlorophyll in green plants, vitamin B-12, and the catalyst used to make polyethylene. Transition metal ions are especially likely to form these complexes. In a coordination complex, the metal acts as a Lewis acid. The ligand acts as a Lewis base and donates both electrons in the coordinate covalent bond. A ligand can be an atom, molecule, or ion, as long as...

coordination number and geometry

Transition Metal Shapes from Coordination Number

Transition metal complexes are often identified by their coordination number and the shape around the metal ion. The coordination number is the number of donor atoms bonded to the central metal. In many complexes, the most common shapes are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar. Coordination number and molecular geometry are linked in a clear pattern. A coordination number of 2 gives a linear shape, as in [Ag(NH3)2]+. A coordination number of 3 gives a trigonal planar shape, as in...

structural isomerism

Linkage and Ionization Isomers

Isomers are different chemical species that share the same chemical formula. In coordination compounds, structural isomerism includes linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers. These two forms show how the same atoms can be arranged in different ways around a metal center. Linkage isomers form when a ligand can attach to a transition metal through two different atoms. The cyanide ligand, CN−, can bind through carbon or nitrogen. The thiocyanate ligand, SCN−, can bind through sulfur or...

stereoisomerism

Isomer Shapes in Coordination Complexes

Isomer shapes in coordination complexes can change a compound’s properties even when the chemical formula stays the same. Isomers are different chemical species with the same formula. In transition metal complexes, the atoms stay connected through the same types of bonds, but their arrangement in space can differ. One common form is geometric isomerism. In these complexes, ligands (the ions or molecules attached to the metal) can sit in cis or trans positions. The octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion...

valence bond theory

Metal Ligand Bonds in Coordination Complexes

Coordination complexes form metal-ligand bonds through valence bond theory. In this model, Linus Pauling explained bonding with hybridization and overlap of atomic orbitals. The central metal atom or ion acts as a Lewis acid. It uses empty orbitals of suitable energy to accept electron pairs from ligands, which act as Lewis bases. These coordinate covalent bonds help explain the color, geometry, and magnetic behavior seen in coordination compounds. The type of hybridization helps determine the...

Octahedral d-Orbital Splitting in Crystal Fields

Crystal field theory explains how ligands affect the d orbitals in transition metal complexes. This electrostatic model helps predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds. It focuses on the nonbonding electrons on the central metal ion, not on the metal-ligand bonds. In crystal field theory, the metal ion and ligands are treated as very small point charges. Because electrons are negative, electrons donated by the ligands repel the electrons in the...

crystal-field-theory-tetrahedral-and-square-planar-complexes

Crystal Field Splitting in Non-Octahedral Shapes

Crystal field theory also explains d orbital splitting in tetrahedral and square planar complexes. These shapes do not follow the same pattern as an octahedral complex, so the d orbitals respond to ligand placement in different ways. In tetrahedral complexes, the four ligands sit between the axes. None of the d orbitals points directly at the ligands, but the d x2−y2 and d z2 orbitals lie along the Cartesian axes and overlap less with the ligands than the d xy, d xz, and d yz orbitals. The d...

colors and magnetism

Color and Spin in Coordination Complexes

Color in coordination complexes comes from how metal electrons absorb light. When atoms or molecules absorb light at the right frequency, electrons move to higher-energy orbitals. For many main-group atoms and molecules, the absorbed light is ultraviolet and cannot be seen. In coordination compounds, the energy gap between d orbitals often matches visible light, so the compound can absorb and emit colors that the human eye detects. Small changes in orbital energy can cause large shifts in the...
